This fusion of styles resulted in the Shijō School, a movement that prioritised a softer, more subjective realism. Goshun often worked on a small scale, favouring simple compositions over grand, crowded scenes. His brushwork carries a literary quality, visible in his Snow Landscape and his depictions of rural life. While he did produce large works, such as the peasant scenes on the sliding screens of the Nishi-Hongwan-ji monastery, his preference for modest canvases defined his output. He focused on capturing a specific atmosphere through restrained ink and colour.

For the modern collector, Goshun offers a balance between formal technique and emotional warmth. His work avoids the stiffness of academic painting. The Shijō School aesthetic fits well in contemporary interiors because it relies on open space and natural subjects. Pieces like his seasonal studies or quiet observations of the natural world provide a calm presence. His ability to suggest a complete environment with few strokes makes his prints suitable for those who value understated composition.
